Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2238 The more renowned a doctor is, the less likely they are to overstep their bounds.

There's a very special taboo for renowned doctors in the workplace: they might inadvertently cross the line!

If ordinary people are unfortunate enough to be diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, it's difficult to get an appointment at a top-tier hospital or even seek treatment privately from a renowned doctor. Due to the scarcity of quality medical resources, this presents a significant challenge. Consequently, as the level of renowned doctors rises, how many ordinary patients do they actually see in a year? How many ordinary patients do they truly treat?

It simply formed naturally; it has nothing to do with right or wrong, or whether it is reasonable or not.

Nowadays, in Lijin City, if ordinary people want to see a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor like Nie Yixiong, his disciples will reply very politely: "Old Master Nie is getting old and his energy is waning. He really can't do it anymore. He has practiced medicine for most of his life and deserves a good rest. I'm sorry, but our Dr. XXX here can handle it perfectly well. Just make an appointment by phone, and it won't delay anything!"

What can ordinary people say?!

Even renowned doctors like Zhao Xicheng and Lan Bingru aren't easy for just anyone to book a appointment with!
As for Lu Yisi, he was even more arrogant. Many people from other provinces would stay in hotels to schedule a surgery, not for any other reason than to minimize postoperative complications and add a few more years to their lifespan. However, even if Lu Yisi worked 24 hours a day, how many surgeries could he perform in a year?!
……

In this way, a natural barrier is formed, intentionally or unintentionally, between famous doctors, especially top-tier doctors, and ordinary people. It is a subtle but objectively existing natural barrier.

Looking at it from a different angle, the fact that one side is farther away makes the other side seem closer.

Those with money, influence, and social power naturally become quite close to top-tier doctors; it's an innate phenomenon, unrelated to right or wrong, or who is right and who is wrong.

On the surface, things seem fine, right? Mutual respect and need for each other gradually lead to a friendship.

however……

Western medicine is better; surgery is just surgery, relatively simple. It focuses on medical treatment and rarely involves the patient's personal privacy or violates the taboos of the patient and their family.

Famous traditional Chinese medicine doctors are no good. This is determined by the unique treatment philosophy of modern Chinese medicine. The new Chinese medicine treatment philosophy has to take into account Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, the Three Powers of Heaven, Earth and Man, the transformation of energy, information and magnetic fields... It can be described as all-encompassing and comprehensive. If you are not careful, you will step on some red line of those wealthy and influential elite groups.

If we deliberately avoid it, what about the various diseases the patients suffer from?
If we face it honestly, to what extent should we treat it?
It's awkward, especially from a purely business perspective.

As Bian Mu's clinical experience grew, he could more or less understand the various "difficulties" of renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctors like Kuang Yiheng, Lu Shiyuan, and Qi Shangqi. In fact, in a sense, the reason why they could not grow into top-level renowned doctors like Nie Yixiong, who had reached the pinnacle of skill, was largely because they dared not easily cross many "boundaries," compromising and pleasing others. In addition, they had relatively strong selfish motives, which ultimately led to their eccentric and strange behavior.

To be honest, Bian Mu couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for those people when she thought of them. Poor thing!
In some respects, academic predecessors like Kuang Yiheng are indeed somewhat pitiful.

Now, Bian Mu has begun to touch this "sensitive area." If he doesn't handle it well, he might end up like Qi Shangqi, a famous doctor, or he might develop in the opposite direction, ending up bruised and battered, or even failing at the last minute, achieving nothing in his future career development, and ultimately ending up as an ordinary person in a desolate state.

The so-called "pickle master" that Bian Mu and Dian Shuhua are currently facing falls into this special category.

Back in the car, Bian Mu turned around and chatted with Dian Shuhua, who was sitting in the back seat, about the new medical taboos.

“Standing in his little courtyard, I could smell the unique fragrance of this fern shoot grass. It's delicate and ethereal, completely imperceptible to most people, but bees are the opposite; they're extremely sensitive to it. For those little creatures, this fern shoot grass might be their ‘compass’ for finding the best nectar sources! What's even more bizarre is that the colorful little bird from earlier was also very sensitive to the fern shoot grass. I'm just guessing, but this fern shoot grass might be a natural landmark for birds. They might even be able to construct a very mysterious geomagnetic coordinate system based on this kind of plant, thus achieving extremely precise positioning. The fern shoot grass on both sides is strikingly similar, and the little bees and birds flying back and forth between them are like visiting relatives. Do you think that female boss and the pickle master can't have some connection?! Do you believe it?!”

"I have some guesses... but... to judge them based on this little bit of evidence is a bit... right?" Dian Shuhua smiled and questioned slightly.

"Men and women in a romantic relationship... share certain commonalities in their breathing rhythm. To put it more elegantly... a woman in love exudes a floral fragrance with every breath... Just now, that pickle master was hiding behind the curtains spying on us! With each breath, as long as I hold my breath, I can still receive some useful information," Bian Mu replied with a smile.

After hearing these words, Dian Shuhua's head suddenly swelled three times larger.

In terms of professional reading alone, Dian Shuhua's breadth of knowledge is absolutely no less than Bian Mu's, and his medical comprehension is not much different. As soon as Bian Mu finished speaking, Dian Shuhua immediately realized that everything his boss said was true.

He was so shocked because his boss's amazing skill in "listening to the heart" had reached an unbelievable level!

It's even a bit horrifying!

"Then...should we continue treatment?" Dian Shuhua naturally understood the professional taboo that renowned doctors should not easily interfere in people's private lives, so he asked casually.

"We definitely need to pause for now! Anyway, that pickle master isn't in any life-threatening danger; further deterioration or cancerous changes are still a long way off! Why are we in such a hurry?! To put it bluntly, he brought this on himself. Do you expect him to find a decent partner, settle down, and live a peaceful life without suffering a bit?! No way! On the contrary, he's become quite wary of us lately. Don't overthink it; it's his own fault for being dishonest, it has nothing to do with you. Let's give him some space for a while! Some things must be allowed to continue to ferment." "Fermentation is key; otherwise, neither of us can get started. Even a celestial being couldn't do anything about it! Besides, that female boss seemed like a decent person. She's probably been misled by that pickle prince lately. As doctors, we really need to stand back and observe from a distance. Otherwise, not only will we be breaking a taboo, but it won't do them any good either. You really need to think about this carefully. In any case, we'll inevitably encounter one or two similar cases in the future. We need to establish a mature set of medical procedures. Letting things take their course is irresponsible to the medical profession and to patients!"

Upon hearing this, Dian Shuhua nodded slightly.
